Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (85g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the egg, honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out dough balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Lightly press a pinch of flaky sea salt onto the top of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky to handle. For a more pronounced flavor, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
